James A. Michener Art Museum Details
The Experience
In the heart of Bucks County, the Michener Art Museum houses the finest collection anywhere of Pennsylvania Impressionist painters. Edward Redfield, Fern Coppedge, Daniel Garber and other artists of the Bucks County school are well represented — including Garber's magnificent mural, A Wooded Watershed, rescued and placed here.
You'll also find a room filled with the powerfully organic forms of furniture by George Nakashima, the pioneering woodworker who lived and worked in Bucks County. And the Michener mounts regular shows of paintings, photography and other kinds of art, often with a regional connection.
History
Opened in 1988, the Michener is named for bestselling author James Michener, a Doylestown native son, who first envisioned the museum. The museum has expanded around its original buildings, the Neo-Gothic guardhouse and warden's office of a former 19th-century prison. The Museum's New Hope satellite location, which opened in 2003, is located in the heart of New Hope, in Union Square on Bridge Street.
